(42,383 posts)Its a yes or no question. Answering yes doesn't mean you think that they should automatically have identical first amendment and other constitutional rights as individuals but that you do agree that the constitution applies to corporations.
A no answer means you don't think that corporations should have any constitutional rights.
Also, do you think that the expenditure of money in the form of advertising or in support of a publisher of speech should be protected under the First Amendment. A no answer means that the government could ban individuals from making contributions to DU or DU from accepting contributions. A yes answer doesn't mean that the government can't put some limits on expenditures by individuals, but that those limitations have to serve a substantial governmental interest.
It could be that we actually are in agreement.
